Welcome back to the new academic year. Our large group of new

and the changing face of Canadian disability movements. She is the author of the book Disability Politics and Care: The Challenge of Direct Funding (UBC Press). Dr. Kelly has published widely, has graduate and undergraduate teaching experience, and is one of three finalists for the prestigious Talent Award that will be adjudicated by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada this Fall.

Andrew R. Hatala, PhD, is a cultural psychologist, community-health researcher, and medical anthropologist with community-based research experience in the urban contexts of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, and rural communities in southern Belize. He recently completed a CIHR post-doctorate fellowship in the Department of Community Health and Epidemiology at

Department Head, cont'd the University of Saskatchewan investigating strategies of resilience and mental health among First Nations and Metis youth. His PhD dissertation research involved a comparative analysis of the relationship between Q’eqchi’ Maya traditional healer conceptions of mental illness and Western conceptions outlined in the DSM-5, including how this relationship or lack thereof impacts health policy and practice in Belize. He also has graduate and undergraduate teaching experience, and his published works and research focus on Indigenous healing and epistemology, Indigenous nosology of mental illness and disorder, culture and spirituality, and resilience and well-being among Aboriginal youth populations.

Stephen Moses, MD, MPHHead of Department

The Department of Community Health Sciences at the University of Manitoba

is hosting the Canadian Society for Epidemiology and Biostatistics (CSEB) National Student Conference to be held from the 8th to 10th of June 2016 at the Bannatyne campus. The conference theme is “Patterns of Health: A Population Perspective” and is being organised by a planning committee comprised of students from a variety of health programs. The planning committee is under the guidance of faculty supervisors, Drs. Lisa Lix and Nathan Nickel. We are partnering with the Canadian Student Health Research Forum (CSHRF) to offer a high quality symposium of local, national, and international speakers on the 9th of June. Additionally, workshops will be offered by SAS

and University of Manitoba faculty members. We are expecting 200 students from across Canada to present their research.

If you are interested in sponsoring any of the events within the program, please contact Angela Krutish at [email protected].

We will soon be sending out a call for judges to review abstracts in March. In early 2016 we will also be sending out a call for judges to evaluate posters and oral presentations on the 10th of June. If you are interested in either of these judging opportunities, please contact Sasha Blant at [email protected]

The Department is pleased to welcome new members:

• Dr. Melinda Fowler, Full-Time (GFT), Assistant Professor

• Dr. John Kim, Assistant Professor (Part-Time nil-salaried)

• Dr. Robert Schroth, Associate Professor (Part-Time, nil-salaried)

On 9 September 2015, Dr. Allan Ronald was presented with the Citizens Hall of Fame bronze medallion at an induction ceremony and reception held in his honour. The Hall of Fame was initiated in 1986 by the Winnipeg Real Estate Board, honouring outstanding citizens who brought recognition to the city of Winnipeg or who have made outstanding contributions to Winnipeg’s quality of life. Busts of the inductees are displayed in the city’s Assiniboine Park. Dr. Ronald’s bronze portraiture created by local sculptor Madeleine Vrignon was installed at the Citizens Hall of Fame site on the 10th of September. Dr. Ronald was honoured in the Community Service category – for voluntary activities and dedication that benefit the immediate and global community.

Dr. Evelyn Forget has recently been selected to be the first recipient of the prestigious Kierans-Janigan Visiting Scholar award, from Massey College at the University of Toronto. This award recognises Evelyn’s career achievements in health economics, and in particular, her leadership of the MINCOME guaranteed annual income experiment that was undertaken in Dauphin in the 1970s, and from which important findings continue to emerge. As a Visiting Scholar, Evelyn will be able to interact with colleagues in the Massey College, University of Toronto and wider Ontario communities. As Mr Hugh Segal, Master of Massey College has stated, “Dr. Forget, as a leading, courageous and entrepreneurial scholar, is a unique and compelling individual with whom to inaugurate this outstanding commitment…”. Evelyn will be based at Massey College for much of the coming academic year, but will continue

to supervise her graduate students at the University of Manitoba. This opportunity will be of great benefit to CHS and the University of Manitoba as well.

University of Manitoba Graduate Students’ Association Awards

Congratulations to Ms. Sarah Turner, Aimee Boycott and Chelsea Jalloh, who were presented with awards on August 25, 2015. Each year the Graduate Students’ Association confers peer-to-peer recognition of fellow graduate students who are currently not recognized by the University of Manitoba Graduate Fellowship, or other national awards. The awards are designed to recognize the important contributions graduate students make to society through scholarship and community involvement.

Congratulations to Ms. Linda Diffey who was awarded the CIHR-IAPH Scientific Director's award in the PhD student category for her abstract submission “Teaching Indigenous health using anti-racist pedagogy: Exploring

Bold Ideas 2015-2016 moves beyond just a story or list of facts – it showcases ideas that take certain evidence and draws a larger conclusion for the benefit of family, community, population and public health. Bold Ideas provides diversity in topics and speakers and helps us to:• Contribute to new or extend existing

faculty and student scholarly thinking and networks,

• Ask new questions, • Think local when a particular topic cannot

be addressed globally, • Think global where we reflect outward so

that other communities can learn from our community,

• Reflect inward when we learn or adapt from the world not known or familiar to us (glocally).

We invite speakers from our faculty, medical residents, research fellows, research associates,

students, visiting scholars, and our colleagues in the federal, provincial, regional, and community health/social systems, to showcase a Bold Idea. To learn how you can become a speaker or to access the Bold Ideas schedule, visit the CHS website:http://umanitoba.ca/faculties/health_sciences/medicine/units/community_health_sciences/departmental_units/9763.html

Mosakahiken Cree Nation BYP 2015 Participants

BYP SUMMER CAMPS

For the second consecutive year, BYP camps were held in northern communities as well as the Bannatyne campus in July.

Opaskwayak (OCN) and Mosakahiken Cree NationsSix volunteers from College of Medicine, School of Med Rehab and Faculty of Science travelled up north to facilitate hands-on science and cultural activities for youth from Opaskwayak and Mosakahiken Cree Nations in early July. Thirty youth (gr. 6-9) from OCN attended a two-day camp at the Oscar Lathlin Collegiate on the 6th and 7th of July. Some of the activities included Diabetes, Medical Simulation and Physical Therapy sessions. The camp participants and families expressed their appreciation for the opportunity to participate in the camp and thanked UM staff/volunteers for

Biomedical Youth Program

visiting their community. Thank you to Oscar Lathlin Collegiate for providing the space and to Jeremy Sinclair, community leader, in assisting CHS staff with registration of participants.

From 8 to 10 Jul, the camp was held at Mosakahiken Cree Nation for the second year and was very successful with 30 students also registered. CHS staff and BYP volunteers worked with the local school and community members to assist with accommodations, registration and logistical support for the activities. Feedback from community and participants was positive. Two camp participants with an interest in FHS programs visited the Bannatyne campus in August for a tour and discussion of available programs and supports for Indigenous students. For both, it was a first-time experience visiting a post-secondary institution.

Bannatyne Campus, 21 – 24 July

Eighty students participated in this year’s BYP camp at Bannatyne, including 15 students from various northern communities.
